Join Host Madison Harris as she converses with Next Generation Leadership Institute on Reproductive Justice (2020-2022) Fellows Amber Wynne, a senior health science policy administration major, criminal justice minor, attending Hampton University in Hampton, VA, and Nina Clinton a senior attending Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. The Next Generation Leadership Institute is a paid two-year fellowship that serves as a formal pipeline for training young Black women, of all identities, from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to become Reproductive Justice leaders.

The National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda defines reproductive justice as the human right to control our sexuality, our gender, our work, and our reproduction. They believe that that right can only be achieved when all women and girls have the complete economic, social, and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about their bodies, their families, and their communities in all areas of their lives.
